DOVER — Kennebunk Savings Bank is expected to open on Central Avenue on Nov. 1 in a multiunit building with vacant space still available.When Rite Aid bought out Brooks pharmacy in 2007, the corner of Oak Street and Central Avenue held two of the same drugstores directly across the street from each other. Years passed, and now a multiunit building has been built to replace one of the Rite Aid pharmacies.Kennebunk Savings Bank is currently being built by Crow Construction on Central Avenue. The bank is taking the back portion of the building, according to George Conway, member of Dover RA Central & Oak LLC. A drive-through will also be built. Conway said the bank is approximately 4,500 square feet, leaving 6,500 square feet still available for purchase.“It’s a great spot,” Conway said. “It’s the front space for sale so it’s great signage and the traffic is strong there.”The available space can be vbroken into two businesses or can be sold as one large spot.“It’s perfect for a medical office or Verizon, Sprint or some sort of cell phone store,” Conway said. A Chinese restaurant was interested in the space, but Conway said they declined the offer. “We’re in no rush and we want to wait for the perfect business,” he said. “It was starting to look like an eyesore, but it’s a beautiful spot now.
